The classic French pastry can bring to mind images of berets, bicycles and the Eiffel Tower.

4. Maple Bacon Cronuts: Rather than flying to New York and standing in an insanely long line and hoping to get a bite of Dominique Ansel’s famous creation, create your own. And as if the Cronut wasn’t genius enough by itself, this recipe puts bacon into the equation. We can hardly handle it. (via Life Made Sweet)

18. Apricot Crescents: If you don’t have time to make croissant dough from scratch, get some puff pastry from the freezer section and wrap up some apricot filling. No one will ever know the difference. (via Devour)
